  • the invention also relates to a power test bench for the test specimen with the measuring device, with a rack in which the test specimen can be secured in a test position, with a starter for the test specimen, which starter is connected to the test specimen with a coupling and measuring device, and with a data processing system for controlling a power-measuring test.
  • the real loading conditions are, frequently, brought about here by a brake motor or a brake that simulates the load, the brake motor or the brake usually acting on the output shaft of the test specimen and, additionally, having to have the same power output and capability as the test specimen to be able to test the test specimen.
  • electric motors are configured as brake motors and their power drain is used to determine the power of the test specimen. Both electric motors and eddy current brakes are known as such brake drives.
  • an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is to be tested, initially, this requires considerable equipping time to be able to make it ready for testing as a test specimen.
  • the equipping including, for example, the connection of the media supply systems to the test specimen, such as control lines, propellant supply, and coolant feed.
  • the testing of the load itself takes a comparatively long time, typically approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the engine of a motor vehicle, to obtain the necessary power values. This constitutes a considerable degree of expenditure.
  • test specimens Mainly all internal combustion engines that output power are possible as test specimens, that is to say, for example, internal combustion piston engines of motor vehicles or turbines. Machines that have a drive power of at least 20 kW are to be referred to here as test specimens.
  • a method for determining a power of a test specimen having an output shaft including the steps of registering a time profile of a rotational speed and of a torque characteristic of the output shaft of the test specimen with a measuring device, exclusively measuring the time profile of the rotational speed and of the torque with the measuring device to determine the power of the test specimen ( 26 ) at a specific time, and testing the test specimen within a time period during which there is no necessity for forced cooling of the test specimen.
  • a method for determining a power of an internal combustion engine having an output shaft including the steps of registering a time profile of a rotational speed and of a torque characteristic of the output shaft of the internal combustion engine with a measuring device, exclusively measuring the time profile of the rotational speed and of the torque with the measuring device to determine the power of the internal combustion engine at a specific time, and testing the internal combustion engine within a time period during which there is no necessity for forced cooling of the internal combustion engine.
  • the method according to the invention requires, for determining the power of a test specimen, a measuring device for registering the time profile of the rotational speed and of the torque characteristic of an output shaft of the test specimen, only the time profile of the rotational speed and of the torque being measured to determine the power at a specific time, and the test specimen being tested within a time period during which there is no necessity for forced cooling, that is to say, the waste heat that is produced during operation is mainly absorbed by the test specimen based upon its heat capacity and is partially output again to the environment by radiated and convected heat.
  • An important advantage of the method according to the invention for determining the power of the test specimen is that only the rotational speed and the torque are measured in conjunction with time as measured variables. As a result, the expenditure on instrumentation and measurement is considerably reduced in comparison to the previously known methods.
  • the time period within which the testing is carried out is, advantageously, short.
  • the testing of the power is, specifically, carried out in such a short time that the heat loss produced as a result of the combustion is overwhelmingly absorbed by the test specimen without, however, overheating occurring unacceptably. That is to say, that during the testing of the power no operating states are reached that allow the test specimen to experience extreme wear or even damage.
  • the heat capacity of the test specimen is used to absorb the waste heat. Accordingly, it is also no longer necessary to connect a device for forced cooling to the test specimen for the duration of the measurement of the power.
  • the testing time of a typical piston internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle can be shorted to approximately 1 minute.
  • the constant 9550 corresponds to the generally known constant for determining the power from a torque measurement.
  • the test specimen is tested in a test bench that is set up for this type of power testing.
  • the test bench is adapted in an optimum way to the test conditions and, in this way, provides sufficiently good test conditions.
  • the test specimen is, first, driven by a starter until a predefined rotational speed that is specific to the test specimen is reached.
  • a predefined rotational speed typically, rotational speeds between 400 and 1,400 revolutions per minute (rpm)
  • the engine is, then, under particularly favorable starting conditions.
  • the typical predefined rotational speeds can be significantly higher, for example, 3,000 rpm and higher.
  • the test specimen is switched on when a previously defined rotational speed for automatic operation is reached. If particularly favorable starting conditions are to prevail, the predefined rotational speed is the predefinable rotational speed. However, in principle, a minimum rotational speed is sufficient as the defined rotational speed at which the test specimen can just still be started. The advantage here is that a starter that is required to reach the defined rotational speed can be made particularly small.
  • the starter is switched off.
  • the test specimen outputs power and, accordingly, already drives its output shaft automatically if the starter is switched off.
  • This avoids the measurement of the power being influenced by a further active drive or brake drive.
  • the starter can also be decoupled from the test specimen.
  • the test specimen can, then, advantageously be accelerated quickly or rotational-speed accelerated.
  • the test specimen is accelerated up to a maximum rated rotational speed when operating under its own power. This provides a comparatively short test time.
  • test time is shortened further if the acceleration is carried out with the predefinition of a full load value for the rotational speed.
  • the test time is, then, advantageously minimized.
  • a number of power levels of the test specimen are determined at defined rotational speed values, the power points between the measured rotational speeds are connected by an interpolation method, in particular, a linear one, and the power curve that is so determined is stored as a function of a rotational speed and, if appropriate, the measured values.
  • the objective of the power determination is frequently, in addition to a power point, for example, the maximum power or an individual power at the predetermined operating point, to obtain a power curve, for example, because the power characteristic of a car engine is to be determined. This is advantageously achieved by the method steps described above.

  • the test specimen is placed in a test position in the test bench where the power testing is to be carried out.
  • test specimen is permanently connected to the test bench in the test position.

  • a device for forced cooling of the test specimen in particular, a device for feeding fluid coolant, is avoided, and the test specimen can be tested within a time period during which there is no need for forced cooling.
  • the method according to the invention can be implemented particularly favorably with a power test bench that is configured in this way.
